Is there a psychological reason these guys do this? Like I partly get the people who give to thots since they have the delusion for the thot getting with them but Phil, wtf the fuck do they get out of that. The thots usually sound happy about the tip too unlike Phil who moans or ignores things. Guess it could be findom but fuck knows lol.....
My theory is that they're all autistic (most
are actually confirmed to be on the spectrum from the doxes) and that something about Phil's over-the-top manchild personality appeals to them in a way neurotypical people can't understand. Sort of like how the Sonic fandom has a disproportionate number of autists. Individuals on the spectrum are extremely gullible and can't sense deception, hostility, entitlement, etc. They're effectively blind to the many negative characteristics DSP is infamous for.
They cant:
-Consider something from the perspective of someone else
-Read facial expressions
-Determine emotions from tone of voice
-Grasp figurative language
-Sense sarcasm (this is an extension of their inability to understand opposing perspectives)
They really love:
-Schedules. Down to the minute, every day has a routine that they stick to religiously, and get really upset when it's not upheld.
-People who express emotions in an over-the-top, exaggerated way, because it's all they can understand.
-Social connections, of any kind. Autistic people desperately seek friends, and often congregate together as only fellow autists tend to understand/put up with them.
They don't really care about:
-Social norms, of any kind. Potty jokes from a 40-year old? Why not.
-How someone dresses/looks. The more vibrant and outlandish, the better.
All of this is a perfect mix for becoming a DSP superfan.
